Defining Outdoor Fabric

Most premium outdoor fabrics are woven materials made from acrylic as its weatherproof, durable and less likely to be faded by the sun. Some outdoor fabrics are made from olefin or polyester, however this is more likely to be treated to protect it from the elements.

Maze Outdoor Fabric Furniture is made from an ultra-durable solution-dyed woven acrylic waterproof fabric. This is then combined with open foam technology, which is sat on lightweight yet robust cast aluminium furniture frames.

When Maze set about creating their fabric outdoor furniture range, they wanted to make something that truly could be left outside all year round. 

Designed by the highly acclaimed LaVita fabric brand, their fabric is intended to offer the same functionality and benefits of Sunbrella fabrics.

Likewise, Cane-Line pride themselves on creating premium quality outdoor garden furniture and their upholstered furniture is at the forefront of the range. 

Cane-Line created a waterproof fabric called AirTouch, which is a 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric. The fabric was designed to be hardy against all weathers, yet soft and luxurious to touch.

Cane-Line AirTouch cushions come with QuickDry and Airflow systems as well as QuickDryFoam, which has antibacterial properties. This allows the fabric to breath, which helps maximise drainage and air circulation so the fabric dries faster - keeping maintenance to a minimum and reducing the chances of mould and mildew forming after a heavy downpour.

Outdoor Fabric Furniture Durability

One concern people have about upholstered patio furniture is durability, but it's specifically designed to stay outside and will withstand the elements, dirt and liquid spills. 

All weather fabric garden furniture is fully waterproof and the cushions can be left outside all year round, even in the rain and snow.

As previously mentioned, the LaVita fabric furniture from Maze has similar properties to Sunbrella fabrics, however LaVita has an even higher resistance to sunlight to give the furniture a longer lifespan.  

Care & Maintenance of Fabric Garden Furniture

Outdoor living can be tough on your garden furniture, but fabric furniture is really easy to care for and you can clean the all-weather fabric really easily.

Cleaning fabric garden furniture

We recommend that you use warm water with a little dish soap and a sponge to clean outdoor fabric.

If you find that your garden furniture is a little too dirty you can use a fabric cleaning kit - contact us to order the right one for your furniture.

Maze say that thanks to the technology used to create this innovative fabric, stubborn stains are not a problem - making this range perfect for anyone with children or pets.

Stubborn stains such as ketchup, chocolate or even red wine can be cleaned with one part bleach and nine parts water. Just gently wash the stain using a clean sponge and then rinse the fabric with clean water. 

Covering upholstered garden furniture

While it's not essential for fabric garden furniture to be covered when not in use, the benefits of a suitable garden furniture cover are undeniable.

We always recommend using a furniture cover regardless of furniture type, as it's a really simple way to fully protect your investment from dirt, rain and things like fallen leaves and bird droppings, the acidity of which can stain if left.
